Supt. Schools Principal
mr. McDaniel
To realize the splendid work of Mr. McDaniel for the public
schools of Hammond, one needs only to know the many improve-
ments that have been made in the school system since he became
superintendent in 1905. Four new buildings have been erected:
Irving, Wallace, Columbia, and the Industrial High School. Wash-
ington, Riverside, and Lincoln schools have been remodelled, and
a six-room addition has been built at the LaFayette building. New
heating plants have been put in all the old buildings.
The following departments have been added to the schools:
domestic science, domestic art, pre-vocational and vocational training,
night school, physical education, and primary supervision. All of
these new departments, and penmanship, drawing, and English in the
upper grades now have special supervision. The teaching corps of
the Hammond public schools has increased from sixty-three to one
hundred seventy.
In short, during Mr. McDaniel’s incumbency, the school system
of Hammond has been developed from comparatively little to one
of the most efficient in the country.
MR. McELROY
When Mr. McElroy became principal of the Hammond High
School in 1908, a ward school, the superintendent’s office and a high
school of less than one hundred fifty students, were all in the old
Central building. Now the high school is enjoying a new building
where there is ample room for all students.
In the same proportion that the attendance has increased, so
the field of opportunity for the students has enlarged. When Mr.
McElroy came to this school, two courses were open to the students ;
now, seven courses are offered. Through Mr. McElroy ’s efficient
leadership and devotion to the school, the provincial school of ten
years ago has become the metropolitan high school of today. Here
the initiative of the individual student is emphasized ; and through
a policy of school discipline which always permits as much freedom
as possible to every student, the esprit de corps of the school has
reached a state to be admired in so large a body of students.

A-DREAMING
Last night as I lay a-dreaming,
I dreamed a dream so rare,
I dreamed I was back in the
old High School,
Climbing the time-worn stair.
I dreamed I saw Harry New-
man
Limp by on his tender feet ;
And Hickman and “Shorty”
Voorheis
Both smuggling things to eat.
And then I saw “Jake” Brusel
Slant his eye across the way;
And “Dotta” R. so very shy
When she should have looked
so gay.
Through my dream marched
Mr. Ellis,
Mr. Maier, Mead, Kenney, too,
Lining up the slow ones —
And last of all came “Stew.”
I dreamed I saw our “Rusty,”
Munching cookies from a sack,
While “Freddie” Beckman as
of yore
Pitched pennies at a crack.
All at once my alarm clock
rattled :
I confusedly tried to scream,
For all this seemed so real
And yet — ’twas only a dream.
— Kae Oberlin.

THE NEW INDUSTRIAL HIGH
SCHOOL
The mighty forests of our northern neighbors
Invaded by the stalwart lumberjack,
Yielded their quota to the noble structure.
The sweating toil of hundreds in the brickyards,
Of craftsman work in wood and steel and metal;
A host of new devices, strange but useful —
These many things it took to make the building.
But all of these could never make a high school.
Young minds to be developed and unfolded,
Young hearts to fill with noble aspirations,
Young lives to guide and teachers trained to guide them —
The men and women strong and filled with purpose,
Who give us all so much besides our lessons —
These are the real New Industrial High School.
— Henrietta Abernethy.

CLASS OF EIGHTEEN
Oh, the birds were singing for him that day,
As he trudged with a smile along his way,
And carried his book — the tiny tike —
And wondered “just whut school’ud be like”
The blessed happiness of childhood’s hours
Is fresh and tender as spring-time flowers.
With that childish bliss he started to school,
Just twelve years ago by Father Time’s rule;
Years spent in study, in effort and care,
’Till success he attained with diligence rare.
Now he belongs to a class that loves the truth,
And is led by th’ ideals of immortal youth —
The class of ’18 that is bidding good-bye
To high school days too soon passed by.
— Dorothy Rohrer, ’18.
19
CLASS OF
1918
Henrietta Abernethey.
“Heinie” is one of our "A sharks,”
and we’re mighty proud of her. She
deserves much of the credit for getting
out this book.
“Great thoughts like great deeds
need no trumpet.”
Josephine Anderson.
Josephine came to us this year from
Robertsdale. We have not had much
opportunity to get acquainted yet, hut
we hope to soon.
“Everywhere in life the true ques-
tion is not what we gain, but what
we do.”
Helen Beebe.
We are all proud of Helen’s declam-
atory work and certainly wish her
a “deal o’ success.”
“Bid me discourse; I will enchant
thine ear.”
Creighton Belman.
Creighton’s hobby is farming. We
all admire his zeal to help in food
production.
He cracks of horses, pleughs and
kye.”
20
William Berry.
William is very quiet — and very
fond of sleep.
“Another of his fashion we have
not.”
Pauline Bessie.
Pauline says she was born in Mun-
cie, Indiana, and adds “hence my
quiet ways.” The choicest hour of
the day to her is the luncheon period.
“She can’t go on forever so, at con-
certs, balls and plays.”
Irene Bracher.
If you have a passion for knitted
sweaters, see Irene.
“A violet by a mossy stone, half-
hidden from the eye.”
Ruth Dickover.
“Dicky” is our hope and our despair.
(Take a glance at her report card!)
She is full of fun and always the life
of a crowd. Three cheers for our
editor-in-chief!
“The heart to conceive understand-
ing and direct hands to
execute.”
21
Gustav. Glorious.
Lend a hand to set on high the quiet-
est Roman of us all !
“I hear a sound so fine there’s
nothing lives twixt it and
silence.”
Ruth Greenwald.
Ruth believes in being happy and
making life “one sweet song.”
“Full of fancy, full of folly, full of
jollity and fun.”
Anne Grogan.
And the glory of her auburn hair
crowns all her life.
“Virtue is bold and goodness
never fearful.”
Florence Hammond.
Florence was our junior class presi-
dent, and brought us through the
“Junior-Senior” with flying colors.
“When I have anything to do, I go
and do it.”
22
Rose Harris.
Rose would bank her all on brevity,
we believe.
“And still the wonder grew,
That one small head could carry
all she knew.”
Lulu Haugner.
She is shy and quiet, and of a sweet
character that makes everyone like
her.
“Modesty is her chief virtue.”
Francis Hawthorne.
“Fran” hails from “somewhere in
Ohio.” She is going to be a Red
Cross nurse, she vows.
“The blush is beautiful but it is
sometimes inconvenient.”
Pauline Hill.
Our Polly thinks school work more or
less interferes with life — and dates.
“Her eyes as stars of twilight fair,
Like twilight, too, her dusky hair.”
23
Evelyn Hilton.
Evelyn has a mighty sweet disposition.
She is rather fond of one “Writer.”
“A friendly heart, with many a
friend.”
Sholto Howat.
Sholto has proven himself of much
value on the football field, and we ap-
preciate his good work and school
spirit.
“It is not good that man should be
alone.”
Walter Hugo.
Some day Walter will have a larger
audience than his Soc’y class — and
then !
“I would that my tongue could
utter
The thoughts that arise in me!”
Albert Jabaay.
Albert won glory for our class in ora-
tory. He has splendid abilities and
the “will to do.”
“1 here is no true orator who is
not a hero.”
24
Almira Jarvis.
Almira has not been with us long,
but we are proud to put her on the
class roll.
“She smiles and smiles and will not
sigh.”
Fred Lott.
Fred is happiest (and hottest) in an
argument.
“The man o’ independent mind.”
Pearl Makowsky.
We believe Pearl’s laugh must be con-
tagious, for she makes everyone merry.
“I am sure care is an enemy to life.”
Mary Matthews.
Mary likes Hammond, she says, but
she spends most of her time at Inter-
laken.
"When duty and pleasure clash,
Let duty go to smash.”
25
Laura Meyer.
It was so hard to separate these
friends — Mary and Laura — even on
different pages. Laura loves to have
“good times.”
“But even she must older grow, and
end her dancing days.”
Juanita Millikan.
H er best fault — smiles!
“So buxom, blithe and debonair.”
Clarence Minas.
Altho usually quiet and reserved, his
work on the Annual and elsewhere
shows his capability.
“Gentle of speech, beneficient of
mind.”
Mary Moone.
One of our “standbys.” There are
great things in store for you, Mary !
“Allured to brighter worlds and
led the way.”
20
Katherine Oberlin.
“Kae” has taken an active part in
school life, and has endeared herself
to everyone. Her chief interest for-
merly was Indianapolis. We notice
that she is busy sewing khaki hand-
kerchiefs now, however.
“Loves company, is free of speech,
sings, plays, and dances well.”
Russell Oltz.
“Fat” has done some creditable work
in athletics. He doesn’t exactly en-
joy school, but would play football
till “doomsday.”
“Taste the joy that springs from
labor.”
Bessie Parker.
Bessie can “bring down the house” in
dramatics.
“I should think your tongue has
broken it’s chain.”
David Pelzman.
David is fond of making speeches —
and, when excited, of “murdering the
king’s English.”
“He would drown the stage with
tears
And cleave the general ear with
horrid speech.”
27
George Potts.
We can’t give George too much credit
for the success of the basketball tour-
nament. Here’s to him!
“He’s all hot sand and ginger when
alive,
And he’s generally shamming when
he’s dead.”
Virgil Reiter.
His chief accomplishments — debating
and playing a ukelele. J’ever hear
him serenade?
“Every night he comes with music
of all sorts.”
Faye Rick.
Faye is of a quiet disposition; she has
shown her worth in Soc’y class.
“Graceful ease, and sweetness void
of pride.”
Eric Rhind.
Steady, able to grasp ideas, and per-
sistent, Eris has shown himself a capa-
ble student.
“There is nothing so strong or safe
in an emergency of life as the simple
truth.”
28
Dorothy Rohrer.
“Dotta” first saw the light of day in
the big city of Chicago. Something
started her laughing then, and nothing
has stopped her. She mostly knits —
and writes — and knits!
“Still constant is a wondrous ex-
cellence.”
Mary Ruch.
Impulsive, kind and willing is Mary.
She has a place in the heart of every-
one who knows her.
“And her modest answer and grace-
ful air
Show her wise and good as she is
fair.”
Marjorie Ruff.
“Marj” is the fun of the crowd. Her
sense of humor is the source of her
exceeding cleverness; in addition to
this she has a goodly share of knowl-
edge.
“Knowledge is the source of good
writing.”
John Swanton.
“Swede” has shown himself to be an
all-round student: on the football
field, in public speaking, and in class
activities.
“The pith o’ sense, and pride o'
worth.”
29
Grace Trotter.
Our senior president has been a fine
one. She has helped us make a splen-
did record. Hats off to Grace!

THOUGHTS ON COMMENCEMENT DAY
While Titan ushers in the new-born day,
We bid farewell at Alma Mater’s door.
Our hearts are heavy as we seek the shore,
Beeseeching Neptune’s guidance on our way.
While we embark upon the sea of life,
Ambition boasts of glory and renown.
Then Caution tells of lofty pride brought down
By Jove who sends his thunderbolts of strife.
As in the good ship Hope we take our course,
’Mid foaming waves Hippotades distressed,
Fond Mem’ry whispers tales forever blest,
Of well-taught lessons learned through sad remorse.
The Muses of Olympus brings the past,
And leads us to Elysian fields at last.

The honor students of the senior class are those who maintained
an average of ninety or above in their work during the first seven
semesters of their high school course. Because this book is published
before the completion of the eighth semester, only the first seven
can be considered. From this honor roll, at the completion of the
fourth year’s work, the winners of the scholarship medals will be
chosen.

Mary Fraley Lenore Conde
SCHOLARSHIP MEDALS
Colonel LeGrand I . Meyer gives two scholarship medals each
year to promote greater excellence in the work of the students of the
Hammond Industrial High School. The graduate who has main-
tained the highest average for the four years is presented with a
gold medal ; the one with the next highest average receives a silver
medal.
In 1917, the gold medal was awarded to Lenore Conde, whose
average was 95 4-7. Mary Fraley, whose average was 95 yZ, received
the silver medal.
Both scholarship winners were prominent in the activities of
the school throughout the four years. Lenore Conde represented
Hammond in the Letter-Writing Contest at Lake Forest College,
last year. In 1916, Mary Fraley won first place in the Lake County
Declamatory Contest. Mary also took part in several of the plays
presented by the public speaking department.
36
THOUGHTS ON TURNING THE
LEAVES OF AN OLD ANNUAL
These medal winners’ faces looking out
With smiling courage from the printed page,
Bespeak minds clear, hands steady, and hearts stout;
They’ll meet Life’s challenge and pick up the gage!
Tarnished their shining medals may become,
They may forget a few important dates,
They may forget in larger part the sum
Of knowledge that they gained within these gates —
They cannot lose their power to concentrate,
The will to do the thing one ought to do,
The power to work and then serenely wait,
The knowledge that they stand among the few
Who’ve made the effort and have won high place
In their school life, first lap in the Big Race.
— Henrietta Abernethy.

THE JUNIOR CLASS
Dear Pete:
Hammond High,
Sometime this year.
So you want to know about the Juniors in this high school!
Well, Pete, we are the best class you ever saw. We came into
high school in September, 1915, with the largest class enrollment
on record. John Swanton was our first president, and he made a
fine one. In our Sophomore year, Lawrence Forline was at the head
of the class. At that time we took as our motto, " luvare neque Car-
pere " and have kept it ever since. We live up to it, too, so you can
see what sort of students we are. This year Bill Pierce is our leader
and we could not ask for a better. He surely puts “pep” into our
meetings; every thing he starts is a success.
I don’t know what Wallie Hess would do for a football team
if he could not get material from the class of ’19. Seven-elevenths
of the “All Star Hammond Team” of this year were juniors. A
great number of the basketball players were of this class. Two of
the girls and one of the boys awarded places in the declamatory and
oratorical contest belong to my class.
We are patriotic, too! The majority of the junior boys have
enlisted in the Boys’ Working Reserve and the girls are making
surgical dressings. Miss Basset says they have made enough of these
to furnish all the good looking Sammies for two months.
Yours truly,
A. Junior.

HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1920
On September 8, 1916, there entered the doors of the old Cen-
tral building, the most brilliant, accomplished, agreeable class ever
known in its history. They themselves will modestly admit this.
The history of the first year of this class consists mainly of
thrills at the announcement of an early date to get into “the new
building” and despair when the move was indefinitely postponed.
Our sophomore year, however, was auspiciously begun in the
Industrial High School. This year the sophomores have been espe-
cially distinguished for their patriotic endeavors. The class mathe-
matician has computed that the scarfs knitted by the girls of the
class, if placed end to end, would encircle the building twice and
lap over six inches. A prominent sophomore boy, whose name we
are not at liberty to reveal, was quite ill from licking thrift stamps.
Edgar Beckman, who served as freshman president, was re-
elected for the sophomore year. Adelaide Fox is the vice-president;
Kathleen Lyons, the secretary ; and to John Byrne is entrusted the
heavy responsibility of keeping the class funds. The class flower is
the chrysanthemum and the class colors, pale blue and yellow. The
class motto is "Virtute non verbis."
TO SIR FRESHMAN
He was a care-free youth of happy mien,
Who wandered o’er the fields one autumn morn ;
He whistled blithe, his joyous eye was keen,
He played amidst the breeze-blown, rustling corn.
No sadness did he know, nor thoughts forlorn,
His kingdom, flower-sweet meadows wild and free:
A monarch whom no regal robes adorn.
He was as happy as a lad could be,
Nor fret, nor care in all the wide, wide world, had he.
One day his clear eyes saw a strange new sight:
Four riders horsed on gallant steeds of gray
Were coming toward him, clad in armor bright.
‘“Ah, might I travel with them on their way!”
He saw a squire who in the rear did stray,
Then came a bachelor-knight with conscious pride,
The next, an older knight in brave array,
And first, a Seignior, old and dignified.
Thus on their journey came they to the young boy’s side.
Then spake the Seignor in a sonorous tone,
“ ’Tis destined, youth, that in our journey, you
Shall join our band, while I depart alone.
Make ready, then, to ride a new world through,
To champion knowledge, fight life’s evils too —
Oh, may you write your glory on the skies!
Now, to my station, knight, I welcome you;
For each in turn to higher rank must rise.
Farewell! Full soon I strive for Life’s most worthy prize.”
— Marjorie Ruff.

AFTERWHILE
In early springtime catne a blossom bright,
Fragrant with cheery sweetness, careless tossed
Upon the breeze. And then there came the frost,
Blighting the blossom in a single night.
A lovely moth came forth before my eyes
From a cocoon I’d treasured jealously,
Fluttered its velvet wings for all to see,
Finished its work, and now in stillness lies.
I like to think the sweetness of the rose,
The fragile loveliness that was the moth,
That in our friend which to her best kept troth —
The part we called the Spirit, I suppose,
Which sleeps with death — will waken with a smile,
To live again in some glad Afterwhile.
— Henrietta Abernethy.

To carry your bundles away.

THE SPIRIT OF DEMOCRACY IN AMERICAN
HISTORY
The following is the prologue of the Field Day Pageant to be given on
June 11, at Harrison Park. The epochs set forth the themes of the spec-
tacles to be presented by the grades of the Hammond Public Schools.
Prelude
The Guardian Spirit of Democracy,
A guide in all our country’s history,
Has shown herself in many a shape and guise
And always with a vision in her eyes.
Three thousand young Americans today
Present to you in pageantry and play,
Seven epochs in the chronicle of our
Most glorious country’s rise to place and power.
First Epoch: Discovery
First, is the noble Red Man’s sacrifice
Of happy hunting grounds, his paradise
Of freedom, given to the white man’s hand
To shape into a freedom-loving land.
To bold explorers’ eyes the country yields
Her secretas. She reveals her fertile fields,
He forests wide, her mineral wealth untold:
The coal and copper, iron and purest gold —
A land where all find opportunity
Fit for the uses of Democracy.
Second Epoch: Colonization
The Pilgrim bravely sailed across the sea
In search of a religious Liberty.
He found it, and preserved, until today,
Freedom to worship God in one’s own way.
Third Epoch: The Republic Founded
The Colonist injustice would not brook,
But melted to a sword his pruning hook,
Defending each man’s right to have a hand
In government, until throughout the land
He and his fellows laid the cornerstone
Of the best republic ever known.
Fourth Epoch: Westward Ho!
The Pioneer, the Pilgrim’s worthy son,
Blazed trails where human feet had never gone,
Pushed west the borders of Democracy,
And planted homes where cities vast should be.
Fifth Epoch: Civil War
Dark stain on democratic nation’s shield,
The negro slave toiled in the cotton field ;
But heroes cleansed the guilty stain with blood
Until, unshackled, free, the black man stood.
54
Sixth Epoch: Reconstruction
Through years of peace and progress moved the land
And for Democracy she strove to stand,
Welcoming mankind from all the world
Here, where hope’s starry banner is unfurled.
Seventh Epoch: Saving Civilization
Now, over seas the nation sends her best
To take their glorious place among the rest,
Ready to give their lives if it must be
“To make the world safe for Democracy.”
— Henrietta Abernethy.
FROM THE DIARY OF A SOPHOMORE
(First honorable mention in Literary Contest)
Monday, October 14 — What an exciting day! Miss Paney, our history
teacher, has the mumps and we have a substitute, Mr. Thomas Chultz. He’s
tall and slender, and wears a mustache. Mary Evans says she would bet
me her beautiful purple tatting that he wears a mustache to make him look
older. Well, perhaps he does.
Tuesdav — This morning Mr. Shultz sent me to the bookcase to get some
readings in ancient history for a special report. You can’t imagine what I
saw in the darkest corner of his bookcase, half-hidden bv old test papers —
a-a bomb! I saw it so sudden-like; it nearly took my breath away, and I
said “Oh!” out loud!
Mr. Shultz looked at me and said sharply, "Priscilla Perkins, what it
the matter?”
"I-I-I shut m-my finger in th-the bookcase d-door,” said I, stuttering. I
always stutter when mortified.
“All right,” said he. What a strange remark!
As soon as school was out, I grabbed Mary Evans by the arm and told
her all. She changed her opinion about his mustache; immediately she
declared it was to change and conceal his real facial expression. "Anyone
could tell he is a German spy, anyway,” she continued, “even by his very
name; besides, wasn’t he a cruel-hearted man to think it all right for me to
shut my finger in that bookcase door, even if I didn’t do it?
Wednesday morning — The mystery deepens! Mary went to the book-
case, on pretense of looking up a reference, but really to see if the bomb
was still there. It was! He may decide to blow up the building any day!
Just as Mary turned reluctantly away from the bookcase (she’d been there
ten minutes) she saw a half-torn note on the floor. She picked it up at an
opportune time, and read the following:
Be sure to meet me at eight o’clock tonight at Madison Park.
Tom Shultz.
Here was the beginning of the conspiracy to blow up the building, we
felt sure! We determined to go to Madison Park that night secretly (that
being the only way, since we were forbidden to go out alone after dark).
About eight o’clock that night Marv and I tried to stroll carelessly
through the park. We found no one until we came to a secluded spot under
a big elm tree. There, on a bench, sat Vera Trumbill and Tom Shultz. It
was not the new teacher, however, but a new Freshman at school. How
silly of us to have forgotten that their names were the same. Crestfallen,
we returned home.
Thursday, October 17 — The bomb is still in the bookcase. Mary Evans
and I will both verify that statement. Mr. Shultz announced before the
class that he was proud of the reference work being done by two girls in
his class. Thank goodness he mentioned no names!
In botany class todav, our teacher announced that some specimens of
interest to the class would be shown us by Mr. Shultz if we cared to go to
his room. Mary and I both went, for we wanted to keep a close watch on
Mr. Shultz, and, if possible, unravel our mystery. After we got there, Mr.
Shultz showed us some beautiful butterflies which he had found in Africa.
At the end of a lecture which was beginning to be tiresome, he went to the
bookcase, fumbled around a minute as if hunting for something, and returned
proudlv. “And here,” he said, “is something which will interest you all.
How many of you have ever seen a cocoanut with the husk on?” And then
he held up for the class to view — our bomb.

THE GERMANS’LL GIT YOU
The awful, dredful water has sneaked to town, I guess,
And it’s full of all the wostes’ things you ever heerd of: yes,
Of little tiny squirmy bugs an’ things that bring disease;
But they’re about too small to see an’ too wiggly to squeeze —
And you better be awful keerful, an’ boil ’em all clean out,
Or the germans’ll git you
Ef you
Don’t
Watch
Out!
An’ once there was a little girl who wouldn’t ’bey her ma;
And she thist laughted ’bout the warnings told her by her pa,
An’ she drank the dirty water 'at they had at school, an’ said
’At water was lots better’n if the german’s wasn’t dead'!
Well, purty soon they got her, an’ she had namonia gout!
An’ the german’ll git you
Ef you
Don’t
Watch
Out! — M. A. R.
“SNOVELING SHOW”
I always get my tongue mixed up
When trying “shoveling snow,”
So now I feel content to say,
Just twisted — “snovel show.”
This grand old snow was glorious,
It made us fairly glow,
For now you see it clearly meant —
Get out and “snovel show.”
We “snoveled” till we had to puff —
Digging trenches as our foe;
I’ll say you surely missed it
If you didn’t “snovel show.”
We met our neighbors, face to face,
Found some we did not know;
In fact, the spirit there was fine
The day we “snoveled show.”
And when we had the trenches made,
On top, all in a row,
We put the ally flags with ours,
Amid the “snoveled show.”
— Kae Oberlin.
THE PRINC’PAL ’LL GIT YOU
Onct there wuz a little tad,
What wouldn’t ’bey the rule;
He jus’ us’ter be so bad —
An’ run clear thru’ the school!
He runned into a school Marm — o-o-oh!
He said, “I’m jus’ a-funnin’ ” —
An’ the princ-pal’ll git you,
Ef you don’ stop runnin’!
Then there wuz a little girl,
Jus as nice’s punch.
Onct the li’l boy with a whirl,
Bumped — an’ spilled her lunch!
She said, “Oh, ’scuse me — do!
Because I know you’re funnin’.
An’ the principal’ll git you
Ef you don’ stop runnin’ !”
— Dorothy Rohrer.

AN OPPORTUNITY
Volunteers Are Wanted for the
Boys' Working
Reserve
At a meetii.g exiled Thursday
afternoon. March 21. Principal F. D.
McElroy spoke of the Boys' Working
Reserve to all boys of theschool who
were sixteen years of age or over.
Mr. McElroy stated that all sen-
iors who enrolled in the Boys' Work-
ing Reserve and who had a passing
grade in each subject, would be per-
mitted to leave school April 1 to do
emergency agricultural work. such as !
plowing, planting, and soon. All jun-
iors or others would be permitted to
leave school May 1. under the con-
ditions.
All boys who do agricultural work
satisfactorily for a period of six
weeks, and all who do industrial
work for a period of two months, will
be awarded a bronze badge.
Vacation Nearly Here
When the last bell rings today
our spring vacation begins. Forget
books and school and drink in all
the fresh air and spring beauty you
can — but don't forge l to come back
Aprd eighth .
Rumor True
The rumor that there will be sum-
mer school for seniors is true, but
there will be none for other students.
0..ly those with senior credits may
attend besides those seniors needing
credits to g radua te.
New System
A new plan has been adopted in
the printery for the purpose of in-
creasing the efficiency of the depart-
ment. Under this plan the print-
ery is considered as a cominer
cial shop. Mr Bernick as super-
intendent appoints a foreman from
among the class to serve one week.
Each morning the foreman is given
a list of the work to be done. He
then assigns each student some
special task. At the end of each
week the superintendent and fore-
man meet, and together they de-
termine the grades for each stu-
dent. Mr. Bernick hopes that by this
method all will make an “A" for the
six weeks — Morris Shlensky
How much does America mean
to pout Does the mention of your
country thrill you with pride? When
tht flag goes by. do you salute it and
highly resolve that it must never be
stained withdishoi or? If necessary,
would you die for America? Until
you are old enough to fight for her.
will you save lor her?
The forefathers of some of us
fought for democracy at Bunker Hill.
Gettysburg and Appomattox. Others
of us are of more recent American
stock. But none of us is a better
American than little Ladislaus
Marko of the Wallace School.
Read what he has to say:
i shall try to explain to you the object
of our meetings and the importance of our
War Savings S<x iety.
••Youallknow that our country is in war
for the defense of American honor, for the
j benefit of the people of the whole world,
and for the equal rights of the people.
I "To be successful she needs both men
and money. Our brothers are sacr. filing
j theit lives in the trenches. We are too
j young to do this, but we are old enough to
1 leave out all unnecessary expenditures, to
' save our pennies, and buy with them Thrill
Stamps snd War Savings Stamps
j • Try to get more and more members. If
f all of us are faithful members of this so-
jc.ety.then our society will be the strong-
i est one. and our school ana our country will
1 be proud of us.

mind will be clear, betause you ina your
t duty and had a share in the making of
the freedom of the world."

A Great Need
A great campaign for books for
soldiers and sailors oegan March 18.
Hundreds of thousands of books are
needed to supply the men at train-
ing camps, naval stations, forts and
over seas. The men want books for
their leisure hours — for recreation
and for study.
Everyone is urgently asked to give
as many books as possible. Some-
one might say ' What kind shall I
send?’’ You are asked to pass on
to the men the books you haye en-
joyed but will not read again. Fic-
tion. history, technical books, diction-
aries. in fact, almost any type of
book will be acceptable — W. E. G.

TEACHER RESIGNS
Mr. Williamson Will Leave Soon
to Raise Food to Help Feed
the Allies
Mr. Williamson, instructor of man-
ual training, has resigned his posi-
tion and will leave Friday. March 29.
to take up work on his farm, which
is about nine miles from Lafayette,
Indiana.
Mr. Williamson has been a popu-
lar member of the faculty since 1914.
He will carry with him the best
wishes of the student-body and fac-
ulty.-W. E. G.
Nation wide Poster Contest
The War-Savings committee of
Washington. D. C, has issued a proc-
lamation asking all students of art
to enter a national poster contest.
The nation will be divided into three
groups, namely, eastern, middle, and
western states. The state of Ind-
iana will be represented in the mid-
dle group.
The students will be divided into
three classes: In class A posters
will be contributed . by special art
students and academy students: in
class B by high school students,
and in class C by grade school stu-
dents. The students of the Ham-
mond High School will be in class
B. Miss Foster has already had
some of the students begin the work.
The prizes offered will be as fol-
lows : Class A. fifteen thrift stamps .
class B. ten thrift stamps, and class
C. fr e thrift stamps. The com-
mute does not offer especially val-
uable prizes as this is to be con-
sidered a patriotic deed.
Noted artists and different mem-
bers of the most prominent institu-
tions of art will act as judges.
— Wm. Gescheidler
Five Hundred Copies
Work on the 1918 Annual is rap-
idly progressing. A contract has
been made with the Rogers Printing
Company. Chicago, for the printing of
five hundred copies. Each annual
will cost one dollar.
Since there is going to be a limited
number of copies only those having
their orders in soon will be sure of
receiving one. The staff expects to
have the Annual ready not later
than May 21 —Mildred Modjeska
EDITORIALLY SPEAKING
The Annual staff — all of its members — deserves praise. Some
of its members are especially worthy of mention: Henrietta Aber-
nethy’s work was indispensable — “another of her fashion we have
not”; Marjorie Ruff gave constant aid with her clever touches; Mary
Moone was always ready with her exactness; John Swanton made a
very capable athletics editor; the art students, Edna Muehlberger,
William Gesheidler, James Brusnot and Alice Hammond did the
excellent art work found in this book; Clarence Minas very ably
handled most of the photography ; Laura Meyer and Mary Matthews
of the typewriting department were always ready to typewrite our
manuscripts; “Kae” Oberlin, although chiefly engaged in getting
humor, found time to copy manuscripts in long hand for the type-
writers; Frances Hawthorne was a very helpful assistant; James
Brunot proved to be a most efficient business manger — much to the
pleasure of Mr. Rupp; in fact, I might continue through the staff —
all responded in a most gratifying manner.
The underclassmen were not asked to do as much as the others
because next year there will be opportunities to show their ability
more fully.
I also take this opportunity to thank the teachers for their
patient help ; and the student body for its loyal support — in fact,
everyone who has helped to make this Annual possible.
HOW ARE WE GOING TO RESPOND?
This school has responded heartily to all of the government’s
calls. Last spring when the President asked for volunteers, a num-
ber of our fine senior boys and several instructors bravely offered
their lives, if need be ; and this year more have gone to help crush
autocracy. In the second Liberty loan, a surprising number of bonds
were taken by students. We have all striven to obey the food admin
istrator’s regulations. The Y. M. C. A. received liberal contribu-
tions; and the school has become a Red Cross school. Besides all
this, the students have a creditable amount of small savings in thrift
stamps.
We have responded in all these ways — now let us follow the
advice of our great President and the educational boards of the
country when they urge all who can possibly do so, to complete their
education — or go on with it until Uncle Sam lays his hand on their
shoulders and says that he is ready for them. We will be worth
more to him if we are trained.
REVIEW
The 1917 athletic season was one of the most successful that
the Hammond High School has ever had. The year was started
well by the winning of the Lake County Track and Field Meet.
The baseball team was not organized because of the enlistment of
members of the previous year’s team, so Coach Mead was able to
devote his entire attention to track. Under Coach Hess’ tutletage
a football team was developed that won the Northern Indiana
championship. The basketball season which followed was very suc-
cessful when one considers that there were but two veterans on the
team. The team finished second in the County league.
COACH HESS
The Hammond High School has been most fortunate in secur-
ing Walter B. Hess as its athletic director. Coach Hess is an excep-
tional athlete and coach, and is extremely popular with the student
body.
This popularity may be attributed to the fact that he was grad-
uated from our high school and is recognized as being the greatest
all-round athlete that the school has produced.
Coach Hess accepted his position with us after spending two
years at Indiana University, where he took a special course in gym-
nasium work and was active in athletics. He starred as a half-back
on the varsity eleven and is recognized as one of the best punters in
the country.
Since he has been with us he has produced a champion football
team and a first class basketball five.
And now he has answered the call to arms, and has enlisted in
the Naval Officers’ Training Corps. He will train on the Great
Lakes for a few months and then become a full-fledged sailor.
FOOTBALL — 1917
The 1917 football team was the most successful in the history of
the school. It was the first Hammond team to win the Northern
Indiana championship and the first in four years to defeat Gary.
The team was well balanced and possessed a wealth of fighting spirit.
Captain Warne and Searles were the regular halfbacks and
both were sure ground gainers. Warne’s defensive work was spec-
tcular. Schillo, who played fullback throughout the year, as a line
plunger and punter has no superior in the high schools of the state
Howat’s work at quarterback was marked by his coolness and ability
as an open field man.
The line was remarkably strong, especially on the defensive.
With Swanton at center, Phrommer and Kovacy at guard, Oltz and
Black at tackle, the line was almost impregnable. Hess and Cearing
held down the end positions in a creditable manner. Hodanus,
Lipinski and Shanks were the extra men who won letters.
The race for the championship honors was most interesting.
Hammond began by defeating East Chicago, 48 to 12. On the
following Saturday at Hammond, a scoreless tie was played with
South Bend. In the next game Hammond won from Rennsalaer
while Gary defeated Sout Bend, 19 to 7.
Gary, confident because of her victory over South Bend, came
to Hammond to play for the honors. Early in the game Gary realized-
that she had met her equal, her famous shift plays failing to mystify
the Hammond line. The game was scoreless for three quarters and in
the last five minutes of play Hammond won the game. The work
of Schillo was the feature of the game. He carried the ball through
the line repeatedly until he had covered over forty yards and had
placed the ball over Gary’s goal line.
59
60
The success of the team is due to the untiring efforts of Coach
“Wallie” Hess. He has a remarkable ability for devising plays for
his team and for instilling the necessary fighting spirit in his men
before a game.
Glen Warne has proved to be an exceptional captain. He is
never discouraged and is always urging his team to do its best. He
is cool headed on the field and plays a clean game. Warne has been
chosen to pilot the 1918 team by his appreciative team mates.
The team loses Howat, Swanton and Oltz through graduation.
With men for their places, the 1918 team should even out-do the
performances of this year’s eleven.

BASKETBALL 1917-1918
The basketball team this year finished well above the average
and gave Whiting a close race for the country honors. Much interest
was centered on the county games this year and the season proved
to be a financial success, as was not the case in previous years when
basketball was not self-supporting.
Coach Hess has three last year’s men on the squad and a num-
ber of second string men to choose from. Captain Potts and Black
played forward throughout the year, being replaced by Searles. Pitt’s
work was characterized by his cleverness and accurate basket shoot-
ing; and Black’s by agressiveness. Warne and Oltz played the guard
positions. Warne was out of the games in the latter half of the
season and Searles and Rhind worked in his position. Oltz played
a consistent game at back guard. Cearing and Rhind worked at
center and both were effective players. Palmer worked at forward
in several games.
Potts, Oltz and Rhind will be lost to the team through grad-
uation but there will be a number of men for their positions next
year, as a strong second team was developed.
LINE-UP
Forwards — Potts, Black, Searles, Palmer.
Guards — Oltz, Warne.
Center — Cearing, Rhind.

Basketball Team
THE TOURNAMENT
The 1918 sectional basketball tournament was held in Ham-
mond at the Irving gym on March 8 and 9. Emerson High of
Gary, won the tourney one week later.
Hammond was eliminated early by Brook in a close game, 18
to 16. Hammond’s defeat may be attributed to over-confidence as
she expected an easy victory.
The tournament was marked by a large number of entries, fif-
teen teams competing. There were East Chicago, Gary (Emerson),
Whiting, Hammond, Lowell, Crown Point, Rennsalaer, Morocco,
Francisville, Fair Oaks, Medaryville, Valparaiso, Winamac, Kent-
land and Brook.
The semi-finals furnished the most exciting games of the tourna-
ment. Gary defeated Valparaiso in a close, scrappy game, and Crown
Point won from Lowell. The final game between Gary and Crown
Point was one sided and a disappointment to many.
STATE TOURNAMENT
The state tournament at Bloomington was won by Lebanon in
an overtime game with Anderson. Gary was defeated in its first
game by Anderson.
TRACK— 1917
Hammond won the seventeenth annual Lake County Track
and Field Meet held at Hammond on May 6. The meet was excit-
ing because of the rivalry between Hammond and Emerson.
The Hammond team was composed of Captain Rhind, Robbins,
Howat, Oltz, Cearing and Searles. Rhind was the star man of the
team and won individual honors in the Lake County meet when he
broke the record in the hundred-yard dash and tied the record for
the four-forty yard dash. He scored fifteen of Hammonds’ twenty-
eight points. Robbins earned points in the high jump, broad jump
and pole vault. Howat figured as a sprinter and in the broad jump.
Oltz put the shot and Cearing and Searles ran the hurdles.
The Lake County meet was held under the auspices of the
Hammond Junior Chamber of Commerce and was a great success.
A large crowd gathered at Harrison Park to witness the events of
the close contest.
Emerson’s high hopes of an easy victory over the field fell to
earth when her star sprinter, Szold, was outclassed by Rhind who
defeated him in all the dashes. Hammond won the meet with
twenty-eight points; Emerson finished second with twenty-five points;
and Lowell was third with eighteen points. Froebel High of Gary
made a poor showing, as she finished far down the list.
The Northern Indiana Track and Field Meet was held at Gary
and was won by Emerson. Hammond finished fourth.
Much credit for the success of the team belongs to Coach Mead
who is now a lieutenant in the United States Army.

The patriotism of the high school was demonstrated after the
second annual fair, on December 14, for two hundred and ten dollars
of the two hundred and seventy-nine dollars net proceeds was given
to the High School Army and Navy Y. M. C. A. Fund. The re-
mainder of the proceeds was placed in the high school treasury.
At the fair were attractions for everyone, whether young or old,
Christmas shopper, or pleasure seeker. On the lower floor, in the
gymnasium, was roller skating, where all who enjoyed that kind of
entertainment could skate to their hearts’ content, to the music fur-
nished by the high school orchestra.
Across the corridor from the skating were the two musical fea-
tures of the fair: the comic opera, “The Grasshopper,” and the
“Dixie Boys.” Both were “roaring” successes; at any rate that is
the way they impressed their audiences.
One special opportunity was given at the fair for all who so de-
sired, to show their patriotism as much as they pleased. It is not
possible for everyone to go to the front and fight on the firing lines,
but everyone who felt so inclined that evening had a chance at a booth
in the lower corridor, to “kill the Kaiser” as many times as he chose.
The “Slippery Slide Inn,” on the second floor, proved to be a
great drawing card to those who enjoy to trip it on the light, fantastic
toe. The library made a very suitable dance hall and the music was
furnished by a good orchestra.
The Japanese art sale and the fancy work sale were interesting
especially to those desiring to purchase Christmas gifts or articles for
personal use. A variety of useful and dainty Japanese and needlework
articles were for sale.
On the third floor were the baby show and the one-act com-
edy, “The Kleptomaniac.” The play, presented by members of one
of the public speaking classes, was a great success, and never failed
to appeal to the humor of its audiences.
On all the stair-landings of the building were tables where “loy-
alty candy” was sold. The candy was all “Hoover candy,” so no one
felt unpatriotic in the least for buying as much of these sweets as he
desired.
By the time these different attractions of the fair had been vis-
.ted, the north end of the lower corridor seemed the center of attrac-
tion to a great number of people. There, the domestic science depart-
ment served dainty luncheons. Cake, ice-cream, sandwiches, salads,
French pastries and many other appetizing things were served.
The high school fair fulfilled its purpose to the fullest extent.
It gave an evening of social enjoyment to the thousand or more people
that attended, and it added funds for the war work of the Y. M.
C. A.
Mary Moone.

THE JUNIOR HALLOWE’EN PARTY
When it comes to social activities the junior class is not lacking,
for this class opened the high school social season Saturday evening,
October 27, by giving a Hallowe’en party at the Chamber of Com-
merce. All high school students were invited.
The evening was spent in informal dancing. Miss Breck told
fortunes at very reasonable prices and did a “rushing” business. In
conformity with food conservation rules, only simple refreshments
were served.
Miss Groman, Mrs. Krinbill, and Mrs. Modjeska chaperoned
the party.
THE AFTERNOON TEA
The Misses Hemstock, Reynolds, and Locklin were hostesses to
the high school students at a very enjoyable afternoon tea, Tuesday,
November 6th, in the music-room. The tea was given for the pur-
pose of getting the students acquainted with one another, and creating
more spirit in the school.
Miss Reynolds had planned a splendid program. The ukelele
club sang several popular songs, Ruth Dickover gave a humorous
reading entitled “Penrod’s Affliction,” the boys’ double quartet sang
several selections, and then all the students sang school songs.
After the program, the students went to the domestic science
room, where refreshments were served under the direction of Miss
Locklin and Miss Hemstock.
THE TOURNAMENT DANCE.
One of the most widely attended social affairs of the school year
was the dance given by the juniors and seniors, Saturday evening,
March 9, at the Irving Gymnasium, after the basketball tournament.
Visitors from all the contesting high schools remained for it.

1917 CONTEST.
The winners in the final preliminary ora-
torical and declamatory contests, which were
held at the Methodist Church, Saturday eve-
ning, April 14, were Albert Jabaay, and Dor-
othy Cunningham, respectively.
The competitors in the oratorical contest
were Archie Brewer, Albert Jabaay, Charles
Hickman, and John Swanton. Albert Jabaay
was given first place; Charles Hickman, sec-
ond, and Archie Brewer, third.
After the oratorical contest came the de-
clamatory contest. Verna McAleer, Helen
Beebe, Dorothy Cunningham, Ruth Dickover,
and Esther Meek were the participants. First
place was awarded to Dorothy Cunningham ;
second, to Helen Beebe ; and third, to Esther
Meek.
Albert Jabaay won first place for Hammond at the Lake County
contest on April 21.
Helen Beebe and Albert Jabaay represented us at Gary in the
Northern Indiana contest; but because of a misunderstanding about
the time for sending in the names of contestants, Hammond was elim-
inated from the contest.
LAKE FOREST CONTEST
On May 12, 1917, Hammond tied for third place in sight-read-
ing in the annual Inter scholastic Contests in Expression at Lake
Forest College. There were contests in letter writing, oral discussion,
and sight-reading. Those representing Hammond were Lenore Conde
in letter writing, Archie Brewer and Virgil Reiter in oral discussion,
and Ruth Dickover in sight-reading. Twenty High Schools from
Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin took part in the contests.
68
1918 CONTEST.
This year not so many students entered the contests, but Miss
Milne feels proud of the work being done by the public speaking
department.
The final preliminary contests were held Monday evening,
April 8, at the Presbyterian Church. The contestants among the boys
were: Albert Jabaay, Lawrence Forline, and Virgil Reiter. The
judges have first place to Albert Jabaay, second, to Virgil Reiter, and
third to Lawrence Forline.
It the declamatory contest, the speakers were Julia Thorsen,
Almira Jarvis, Helen Beebe and Clare Brennan. Helen Beebe won
first place; Clara Brennan, second; and Julia Thorsen, third.
Helen Beebe and Lawrence Forline will represent us at the Lake
County contest at Gary. Virgil Reiter, who received second in the
final preliminary, left immediately after the preliminary for a farm in
Michigan, where he is serving his country as a member of the Boys’
Working Reserve.
Clara Brennan and Albert Jabaay went to Laporte to the
Northern Indiana Contest.
DEBATING.
No interschool debate was held this year because it was felt that
the extra energies of the students should be devoted to war work
rather than to the customary school activities. When the present
crisis has passed, interschool debating will be resumed. Meanwhile,
we shall have to content ourselves with pointing with pride to our
past record.

MUSIC CLUBS
The Girls’ Senior Chorus.
Eighty-four high-school girls of the junior and senior classes
belong to the Girls’ Senior Chorus, which meets each Wednesday to
practice three and four-part music. Members serve as accompanists.
Girls’ Junior Chorus.
The Girls’ Junior Chorus is composed of eighty-six members
from the Freshman and Sophomore classes. They meet each Thurs-
day and work in two and three-part songs. Members act as accom-
panists.
The Treble Clef Club.
A new music club which was formed for the purpose of repre-
senting the Senior Girls’ Chorus at entertainments, is the Treble Clef
Club, composed of the following girls who meet after Girls’ Senior
Chorus on Wednesdays: Cecil Abblett, Helen Beebe, Pauline Besse,
Ruth Dickover, Dorothy Dye, Eltessa Emmerling, Margaret Fromm,
Alice Hammond, Florence Hammond, Frances Hawthorne, Pauline
Hill, Katherine Oberlin, Dorothy Rohrer, Mary Ruch, Morjorie
Ruff, Violet Stinson and Dorothy Wolfe.
The Orchestra.
Pianist — Leland Daenitz.
First Violinists — Sadie Marcus, Ralph Walls, Harold Schlensky,
Fred Erdman.
Second Violinists — Rose Harris, Donald Young, Earl Tweedle, Elton
Stinson.
Cellist — Martha Smith.
Trombone — Harry Beasley.
Banjo-guitar — William Freeze.
Cornet — Kenneth Beasley.
Drummer — Marie Domke.
These musicians meet on Wednesdays after luncheon and spend
the noon hour in vigorous practice. They have won the applause of
audiences at the High School Fair and at other social functions of
the school.
71
Boys’ Chorus.
The Boys’ Chorus is composed of seventy boys, most of whom
are prominent in all school activities. They meet each Tuesday at
3 :20 o’clock. Ruth Sparks acts as accompanist for this chorus.
Boys’ Double Quartet.
What would Hammond High School be without the “Knights
of the Double Quartet?” They have certainly done more outside
work than any other music club in the school. This organization
composed of Archie Brewer, Alfred Phrommer, Theodore Hatfield,
Harold Zuver, Mark Cook, Walter Hugo and Albert Jabaay, has
very creditably represented the school at meetings of the Hammond
Woman’s Club and at many high school functions.
The Mixed Chorus.
On Monday evenings, one hundred students assemble in the
music room for mixed chorus. In this class difficult music of from
four to six parts is sung, and much benefit as well as pleasure is de-
rived.

A SERVICE FLAG
I am a service flag.
My twenty-two stars stand for twenty-two devoted young lives
offered on the altar of a great crusade — a crusade against ignorance,
oppression, greed and Kaiserism, against war and the causes of war.
My red border is for the high courage that sent them, educated
from babyhood in the tents of peace, to fight in the bloodiest war of
all time.
My white field is for the purity of motive with which they
freely gave themselves to the service of liberty.
My stars are blue for the honesty of their conviction that their
cause is just.
I am made in the likeness of Old Glory, and every sight of me
is a reminder of the flag that never hid a lie.
I stand for sacrifice, and am a daily inspiration to those who
must fight at home.
I am a token and a prayer.
— H. A.

LETTERS FROM OUR VOLUNTEERS.
(Extracts from a letter from Lieutenant Luther E. Ellis, for-
mer teacher in the High School, and now on the firing-line in
France.)
Somewhere in France, March, 1918.
— I. started this morning during a fog when fewer precautions were
pecessary. A French captain who knew the route, accompanied me. When
you recall that some of the ground we passed over has been taken from
the Germans since I landed in France, you may know the conditions.
Part of the way we had to drive around shell-holes, but we were in a
fine Pegeuot car and didn’t mind it. If you should be in this part of
France, you would see women plowing, hauling and #ven cutting wood,
operating gates at railway crossings (all have heavy iron gates — safety
first), and doing practically everything men should do.
When we arrived near the war zone, we drove, of course without
lights, but the moon helped much. We came through a district that had
been raided that night and there surely were results.
I haven’t had my clothes off since the night before last. I have seen
some warm aerial combats, and the excitement has been somewhat in-
tense at times. Fritz takes particular delight in dropping bombs over
headquarters because the general is there. It’s rather dangerous, but none
of us seem to think of it because we’re all in the same boat.
I've been in “no man’s land” where we had to fall when “starlights”
were fired. I was in a dugout which had a forty-foot head-cover of earth,
and was well protected from gas. It was electric-lighted. The night-
guard for this pantheon consisted of about forty-five sentinels, and it will

accommodate about three thousand men. There is a narrow gauge rail-
way. in it on which we saw small cars drawn by burros. The American
soldiers have made friends with these burros by giving them candy and
other burro delicacies, until the little fellows will go as far out of their
path as possible even while at work, if they think there is hope of getting
Something good to eat from a soldier.
Did I ever tell you I have seen Mount Blanc from a distance? I
have been near the Rhone, too. It is a beautiful stream, clear as crystal
and with an unusually swift current. Where I happened to be, it flowed
through thousands of acres of vineyards. I’d like to tour this country
in a machine sometime. The national highways are wonderful, with a
row of tall trees on either side. It seems strange the world should select
such a beautiful country as a battleground and destroy its beauty by a
network of trenches. But here the trouble commenced and here it will
end.
Well, the noise reminds me that this is a great war.

Fort Constitution, N. H., April 29, 1917.
Dear Dot:
Here we are in a place to which our historians have never done full
justice. While you were drying the dishes today, I was strolling over a
road that Paul Revere made famous on April 18, 1775, as he galloped
from Boston to Fort Williams and Mary, now Fort Constitution. It was
the site of the first action in the American Revolution; some of the old
stockades are still standing.
A quiet little village, Newcastle, is right outside the fort. Its history
began back in 1693; its ancient charter still hangs on a cracked sill in
the city hall. One of the town’s little red brick houses has lightning
rods that were put on by Benjamin Franklin, and the brick itself came
from Holland.
Portsmouth, a little town with winding streets and narrow thorough-
fares, has recently erected a building for the soldiers and sailors. Its
work is similar to that of the Y. M. C. A. The boys go there often
when they have a few hours to spare, and return to the fort with new
vigor. I am writing this letter there.
In the next room the boys are playing “The Girl I Left Behind Me.”
The record is cracked, but it keeps spirits up. These barracks have a
pool table, the Vic, and a small library that I often visit.
I went to church today. The services for the Church of England cer-
tainly are beautiful in New England. The people are charming. I was
asked to dinner by a fine family. Harry Newman is with us now, so
that is seven of us. Hick, Stew, Beck, Irish, Leo, Harry and I are in the
same squad. The fourth company will be put to gun practice and drill
this week, but ours will have mine setting, a tedious, ticklish job. The
salt water makes me sleepy.
Yours for France,
Jake Brusel.
Dear Dot:
Fortress Monroe, Va., August 10, 1917.
“Old Luckiness” has struck a great place this time. It was pretty
dirty coming down from Philadelphia, but the twenty-four mile trip across
the bay was fine. The fort is a beauty. A twenty-foot wall with a moat
makes it look like the genuine article. The school buildings are splendid,
and here I expect to work like a major for my degree as master-gunner
in Uncle Sam’s ranks. For a while we’ll sleep out-of-doors on cots with
mattress, warm cover, sheets , pillow and pillow slips. When we move
inside we’ll have springs. Oh, Boy!
We begin our study either Monday or Wednesday, and it is going
to be hard, but I’ll work night and day to stay here. Eats? Well, Dot,
I nearly forget I'm in the army. I had fried eggs, fried potatoes, corn
flakes, real milk, sugar (sweet), coffee, bread and butterine for break-
fast. The day before I left Con. I met all the fellows and we went to
a Y. M. C. A. entertainment. It was certainly good. The fellows called
me “the luckiest dog ever” (and I guess I am) to get this transfer. I’m
the youngest in the school, and am commonly known as “The Infant.”
Write soon.
As ever,
Jake.

Oakland, California, Christmas morn.
Dear Dotta:
Miladey, we are having a warm, gentle April shower. My aunt met
me at seven this morning after a jolly fine trip. It looks like gold
to me.
Later —
Reported at the fort this morning. Winfield Scott is the largest fort
I’ve been in, and is in the Presidio. I will perform my duties as acting
master gunner (youngest in service, Dot), and after a few weeks will be
granted my warrant. The fort is “paradise.”
I had a beautiful Christmas in Oakland. It was a rainy day, but
sunflowers, Easter lilies and all the others are in bloom. Had fresh
strawberry shortcake for dinner, too. As I look out of a window in the
barracks, I see the glittering lights of Frisco to my right, and the Ex-
position grounds in the foreground. I’m on the south end of Golden Gate.
The scenery is unbelieveably beautiful.
Always,
Jake.
Presidio, Frisco, February S, 1918.
Dear Dot:
Well, Dot, at last my dreams have come true. You know the rest —
I’ll soon be leaving for France. I’m the happiest I’ve been since I was
home before Christmas. Every fellow is giddy, because when he gets
the army spirit in him, he wants to let it out “Over There.” In our regi-
ment is a happy-go-lucky Swede whose optimism helps us all. He says,
“Well, Jake, we sure were having too much softiness. This is to win the
war.” And it is, Dot, and you folks at home can help a lot with some
“go-get-’er-Gallagher” punch. I know that the boys will be doing
theirs.” Wear a smile, Dot.
Yours,
Jake.
(The following letter was received from Gardner Voorheis, a
graduate of the Hammond High School, who is now in France.)
February 10, 1918. Somewhere in France.
My dear Mr. McElroy and the Faculty:
Well, here I am ! I think it has been some time since I have written
to you or any of the professors whom I have served under, and, a little
ashamed, am taking my pen in hand to let you know that I often think
about the days of yore; which, I might add, are also golden alongside
these days. I am in an automobile corps as you can see by the en-
velope. I have seen many sights which I would probably never have
seen had I not volunteered for this corps.
I would like to get a glimpse inside of the new school before I die,
as Krieger told me it is a palace. It was one of my highest ambitions
to graduate at the new school, but I suppose I will have to be content
with the honor of being in the last class to graduate at the old building.
I have been in Halifax and have seen the results of the explosion;
also I have been in Ireland, Scotland, England and France. We expected
to go to Egypt for a while, but I guess not.
I had to master the English money, and just as I did they sent us
here. Now I am mastering the French language, and also their money.
I am making fairly good progress, in fact, better then I did in my Ger-
man while at school.
I have not met anyone from Hammond yet, but I expect to. I think
we will haul the big guns to the front and back. As yet I have not
been to London, but I expect to if I ever get the chance. The American
soldiers are not allowed in Paris, so I don’t suppose I’ll get a chance to see it.
The mud around here is knee deep and sticks like glue.
I guess this is all the news I am allowed to tell, so I’ll close, hop-
ing to hear from you soon, I beg to remain,
Yours sincerely,
Gardner Voorheis.
P. S. I would be glad to hear from any of my old school friends if
they have time to write.
LIBERTY BOND CAMPAIGN
October twenty-seventh closed the big Liberty Loan drive. Dur-
ing a period of about a week, a few less than a hundred students of
the High School, together with the faculty, had invested in bonds,
making a total of eleven thousand five hundred dollars. During the
campaign, Mr. W. C. Belman, chairman of the Liberty Loan Com-
mittee in Hammond, addressed the students and faculty. His ad-
dress fired the patriotic spirit of the school and the bonds were sold
more rapidly than before.
Those who purchased out of their own money or had purchased
for them, bonds of the first or second issue are :

Y. M. C. A.
The patriotism of the high school showed true blue last Decem-
ber, when seven hundred forty-one dollars was subscribed by the
school to the Army and Navy Y. M. C. A. War Fund. Four hun-
dred sixty-six dollars of the total amount was pledged by the stu-
dents and faculty; two hundred ten dollars was procured from the
Second Annual Fair, given by the High School ; the Senior class con-
tributed fifty dollars, and the juniors, fifteen.
During the drive, several talks were made to the high school by
prominent citizens of Hammond, and by Y. M. C. A. workers. One
talk of especial interest to the students was that of Mr. Bernard
Gavit, a graduate of this school, who was then engaged in the Y. M.
C. A. work at Camp Taylor, Louisville, Kentucky.

THE RED CROSS IN OUR HIGH SCHOOL.
We are entitled to be called a Red Cross High School because
every student in our building has joined the Junior Red Cross. But
most of the High School girls were unwilling to stop there. The
boys may be able to work harder in the war gardens in the spring,
and through the heat of the summer, and earn more money for thrift
stamps and Y. M. C. A. contributions, but to the girls the Red Cross
work is better suited.
A number of Junior and Senior girls have grouped themselves
together in a Surgical Dressing Class which meets every Thursday
evening at the Red Cross Rooms in the Hammond Building. After
thoroughly washing their hands, and donning caps and aprons, the
girls are ready to work. They have made two kinds of bandages al-
ready. The class closes at nine o’clock but the members often, vol-
untarily, work later.
The sewing classes of this school are laying aside all their own
work to do the Red Cross work. They have made a large number
of bags and have hemmed an endless number of towels for the Red
Cross hospitals. The work for the Belgian refugee children and
their mothers, though the hardest, is, perhaps the most interesting
work they have done. Among the garments they have made are
twenty-four women’s housedresses, eighteen blue corduroy suits for
little boys, and twelve children’s dresses. It is very fine to know
that all the materials used to make these articles were purchased by
the money which was turned in for Red Cross memberships for the
school. We feel that it could not have been spent in a better way.
The work in knitting proceeds in the sewing classes and out, and
the motto of the school, from the smallest freshman to Miss Bassett,
herself, seems to be “Knit, and do your bit.”
THRIFT CLUBS.
Every member of the high school belongs to a thrift club; every
member of the high school is helping to win the war and at the same
time is learning how to save. On April 22, the total amount of
money saved by the students was three hundred and twenty-three dol-
lars. This means that three hundred and twenty-three dollars, most
of which would have been spent for ice-cream, candy and other little
luxuries, has been saved and is now being used by the government in
the prosecution of the war.
In order to create more enthusiasm in the thrift organizations
and to encourage conscientious and systematic saving, the rewards
of having their pictures in the annual were offered to the two clubs
showing the best spirit and regularity in their saving. The winning
club is the Thrifty Thrift Club of which Sylvia Pederson is treas-
urer. On April 22, this club had saved fifty-four dollars and thirty-
five cents. The organization ranking second is the Alpha Club of
which Helen Powelson is treasurer. This club, on April 22, had
saved forty-four dollars.
82
The organization with William Pierce as treasurer, and the
Loyal Workers’ Club of which Lillian Long is treasurer, deserve
honorable mention. The former organization has saved forty dollars.
The latter club was organized on Friday evening, April 12; on the
following Monday it had seventeen dollars in its treasury. April 22,
it totalled thirty-five dollars.

Dorothy Dye — Say, Miss Dahl, what’s this in the salad ?
Miss Dahl — Why, of all things — a button.
Dorothy — Of course, it’s a part of the dressing.
Of Course!
Miss Burhans — What of vast importance happened after 1900?
Pauline Besse — Me!
Miss Shunk (explaining the lesson) — And Dido killed herself —
on the next page.
Russell Gilson (in history) — I believe that by 1920 the Ameri-
cans will have reached their Venus (meaning zenith).
“All the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand” —
after Chemistry Lab.
Miss Reynolds in music class — You held on to “your lover” too
long!
'Twas Ever Thus
Dot R. sits and sighs and knits,
Never a word says she,
And the sweater grows beneath her hands,
For Jake across the sea.
As Dotta sits and sighs and knits
With never a word to say,
Jake is running around Paree
With a “parle vous francais.”
Mirabile Dictu!
Eric Rhind (in Vergil class) — Orestes killed Acestes, and then
Acestes killed him.
Prudent IVillie
Willie S. — Can a boy be punished for something he hasn’t done,
Miss Bassett?
Miss B. — Of course not.
Willie — Well, I haven’t done any geometry.
Condensed Knowledge
“Well, if you have that in your head,” explained Mr. Rupp,
“you have it in a nutshell.”
(Heard at South Bend-Hammond football game) —
Grace T. — My, but those boys are dirty! How will they ever
get clean?
Violet S. — That’s what the scrub team is for.

OVER THE TOP!
You want me to tell you a story,
A yarn of the first line trench ?
My friend, all my life of adventure
I’ve held down a hard wooden-bench.
The nearest I’ve come to trench fighting
Was getting some sustenance.
Lunch in the school cafeteria
Is all that I’ve seen of La France.
Is that exciting? Well, maybe
You wouldn’t think it is so,
But, after all, getting your grub stake
Is never exactly called slow.
You make a wild dash for the basement —
That’s where they cache the food —
“Reach me a tray there, my brother!”
“Say! that salad looks good!”
(Some of our trench slogans these are)
“Get me a salmon croquette!”
“Over the top” of the counter
This ammunition is sent.
Then comes a scramble for ice-cream,
Sandwiches, coffee and cake.
You dig in your pocket to pay the cashier,
Then for a chair make a break.
The attack! Our machine guns rattle —
Knives and the forks and the spoons —
Young Americans getting supplies in
To last through the long afternoon.
Gwendolyn Graham.
W
Alfred: You would dance very nicely if it weren’t for two
things.
Ad.: What are they?
Al. : Your feet.
Mr. Murray must be fond of the girls. He writes “See me” at
the top of some of their examination papers.
Camouflage
Jim: I’m going to a masquerade ball soon and want a distinctly
original costume. What would you suggest?
Bud: Why not sugar your head and go as a pill?

E’en True
Miss Christensen — You follow, don’t you?
Junior — Yes (sotto voce) but then, I have followed many things
I never caught.
Freshie — Oh! I am going to another clime — as she wended her
way to the third floor.
Albert Smith handed in the following: “The bride fell with a
crash into the sea.”
It should have been, “The bridge fell with a crash into the sea.”
’’Look it Up.”
Sam Ein — I want Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address.
Librarian — (Miss Nagle) — There’s the telephone directory,
look it up.
Evelyn — Did you take a shower after basketball practice?
Billy M. — No. Is one missing?
Extra!!
She came to school with a proud light in her face. Every one
could see as plain as day that something important had happened to
her. As she sighted a schoolmate at the end of the hall, she rushed
toward her, waving a white envelope in the air.
Breathlessly she spoke — “Oh Jane! I have a letter from Jack —
he’s been in France just a week — and such thrilling experiences!
He’s been in a fight already — just think! He didn’t get hurt at all
either — I feel so relieved at that ! It makes me feel so proud that he’s
doing so well !”
“What kind of a battle was it?” Jane asked eagerly.
“There’s the bell — here, you can read it.” And this is what
Jane read, “The latest advance we have made in acclimating our-
selves was a successful drive — a routing of the ‘cooties.’ Particulars
are forbidden by the censors.”
